What I'm saying is that my links don't work correctly unless I do that. I have no idea why. For example, when I could click a link that would take me to something/some?_wpnonce1234 it would take me to an error page that said "are you sure you want to do this?" but when I added the ampersand, it worked as designed. so something/some?&_wpnonce1234 would work. So now I've gone through my whole site and into the WP and BP core and added ampersands everywhere and my site is fully functional on Nginx.
I have Nginx with PHP FPM and the Nginx compatibility plugin for php5. I set it up on a VPS from scratch following a tutorial and it's all been great except for this one issue.
Anybody know why this would ever occur?
